Persianstory Stories

This is a fictional story of a young girl, Zainab, who must confront her buried childhood trauma as she's raising her own two daughters. She is the eldest daughter of a refugee family from Afghanistan who's grown up in New York City. Zainab's narcisistic and abusive stepfather is adamant about raising his family the traditional way even in the middle of a metropolitan city. She lives in the middle of two different, opposing cultures as she navigates adulthood.

She wanted a way out- a break from the silence, the struggle, the same tired days. But what she found wasn't freedom. It was love dressed in danger, a rescue that turned into a trap. Now, she'd give anything to go back to the life she once thought was unbearable. Because at least back then... she didn't have to be afraid of love.
